Presenter Alan Hughes has admitted he had a “scare” this week after suffering from chest pains.
The TV3 star was rushed to the emergency room on Sunday night, days after falling during rehearsals for the Cheerios Christmas panto.
“I had a bit of a scare but I’m grand now,” he said.
“I had a fall on Wednesday at rehearsals but I didn’t go to the doctor because I didn’t have time.

“But on Sunday night I had a pain in my back and it was so hard to catch my breath that I knew I had to go to the doctor.”
Alan;s husband Karl brought him in, and Alan was later sent to Beaumont Hospital where
he was monitored overnight.
“It wasn’t a heart attack, it was brought on from something else,” Alan told the Herald.

“When I fell I got some internal injuries so I couldn’t catch my full breath.
“The doctors said that my oxygen levels were so low that they couldn’t let me go, that I’d have to be monitored overnight.”
